1,000 Butte-Silver Bow primary ballots counted twice, prompting a recount affecting close races.
Butte-Silver Bow officials discovered an issue with ballot counting during the June primary, causing approximately 1,000 ballots to be counted twice. This prompted a recount of all votes, potentially affecting close races such as the District 5 seat on the Council of Commissioners and the state District Court judge contest. The recount began at the Butte Civic Center and must be completed by the deadline for general election ballots to avoid impacting advancing candidates to the November 5 general election.
